QUESTION:

Do you have a vision/missions/values statement for your business?

Yes: 64%

Outperform the competition. Serve the customer. Make this a pleasant place to be. — Jim Bradley, Bradley Nameplate Corporation, Fremont, California
Early on, I didn’t appreciate the power of having a vision and values in place. Now, it’s almost a sin to run a business without it. Your vision and values determine the personality and vibe of the business. — Gavin StGeorges, Proud Tshirts, Miami, Florida
At wetalkshirty.com we all share the same vision as a team! We are always pushing “Talk shirty to me,” and because of this we have a great team and better customer base. By sticking to our values, our customers follow our protocols and our ways of doing business. This helps weed out the hard customers and helps us create the vision we have as a company. Every business should know where they came from and where they are going. You will eventually have to re-roll the dice and shake things up as time moves on! — Ron Augelli, wetalkshirty.com, Dickson City, Pennsylvania
We have core values written out and we use them as a guideline for decision making throughout the company. — Joe Ortinau, Ortinau Art, Pemberville, Ohio

No: 36%

I should, but I don’t. — Kristin Deutsch, Hair of the Dog Graphics, Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin
